1 day ago 17

Ciara Elliott

From royal brides Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton and pop royalty Dua Lipa, we can all appreciate the beautiful allure of a timeless lace wedding dress. But right now they are having a moment even more than ever. One of the most popular choices for brides we've seen this season, we decided it was time to showcase some of our favourites. So without further ado, here are 21 stunning lace wedding dresses worn by real brides to inspire your search. Enjoy!

Shauna's gasp-worthy winter bridal look to beau Fearghal at Bellingham Castle exuded modern romance in every stitch wearing a Chosen by Kyha off-the-shoulder mini dress with a romantic lace skirt by Lori Muldoon. Her veil, earrings and bag were also made by the luxury Irish designer.

2. We couldn't take our eyes off the phenomenal lace puff sleeves on the bespoke wedding dress of bride Evette, on her summer wedding day to Brian at Ashley Park House. The dress is designed by Orlaith Carroll and was purchased at The Attic Bridalwear Boutique in Limerick. It also featured a square neckline, a lace bodice and an elegant skirt with a flowing train as well as a dreamy cathedral veil. Stunning!

3. On her Italian wedding day to Marco, Natalie utterly wowed in a body-celebrating French lace wedding dress from Grace Loves Lace, which had a stunning exposed back, a fishtail skirt with a high slit in the front and an amazing 120cm train. Pretty pearls informed her accessories from her hoop earrings to her bridal heels. She wore floral hair pins and completed her wedding look with an ethereal cathedral veil.

4. Tanya couldn't have loved the dress shopping process more and she always knew she would walk down the aisle wearing a Suzanne Neville creation. On her New Years Eve wedding day to Stephen in the decadent surrounds of Kilkea Castle she did just that! "I have been obsessed with her dresses for years and it was a dream to wear one of her designs," says Tanya.

5. Emilee utterly wowed in her May wedding at Doonbeg to Páiric, wearing an elegant gown by Polish designer Tom Sébastien which she paired with a bespoke veil by The Next Chapter and Tony Bianco shoes.

6. Savannah was a vision of undeniable elegance at her wedding at Horetown House to Jack, wearing a Rime Arodaky wedding dress with delicate lace accents from Pearl Lane which she styled with fingerless lace gloves, Jimmy Choo heels, accessories from Maison Sabben and her wedding ring, of course, which was by Chupi.

7. American bride Grey stunned at her winter wonderland wedding to Erik at Dromoland Castle in a showstopping strapless Monique Lhuillier ballgown enhanced with magnificent lace detail and an epic train. As for her accessories, she wore satin opera gloves and incredible diamond and sapphire jewellery that was gifted to her by her mother. Breathtaking!

8. Right out of a fairytale, Danielle's dress was so in keeping with the surrounds of Waterford Castle for her autumn wedding day to William, we are captivated. The illusion lace wedding dress was created by Olia Zavozina Bridal and boasted whimsical sheer cape-like sleeves. Danielle added a dreamlike cathedral veil and a series of stunning and sentimental accessories including her bracelet which was a gift from her grandmother.

9. Sinead's bridal look on her elegant Castle Leslie wedding day to Feargal also took our breath away in an instant. She was mesmerising in a lace Berta Privée gown. She accessorised with a beloved pair of Dior earrings and glittering rose mesh Gucci slingbacks.

10. Sarah was a glittering goddess on her wedding day at Bellingham Castle wearing a sparkling lace wedding dress by Berta with a sweetheart neckline and an illusion corset with matching removable sleeves and a choker.

11. Bride Dana exuded vintage elegance and old-world charm on her wedding day with Warren. Her chic and sophisticated gown, designed by Suzanne Neville, was purchased second-hand and tweaked to perfection. Originally a strapless dress, Dana with the help of a friend, added her own twist with sleeves and a high neck - wow! She paired her look with a headpiece by Agnes Hart and a long cathedral veil.

12. "I always knew the design of my dress from when I was a teenager," Michaela says. "My nana used to be a dress maker and specialised in lace, I have always been obsessed with lace." So when Michaela and Cathal tied the knot on the cusp of a new year at The Address Cork it was no shock when she wore a breathtaking custom French lace gown with a high neck, long sleeves and a fit and flare silhouette by Niamh Lynch of Bespoke Bridal. As for accessories, she wore her grandmother's diamond cross on the sleeves of her dress and slipped into her dream wedding shoes, the Hangisi satin pumps in brown by Manolo Blahnik which are one of the most popular heels for brides. Stunner!

13. A fairytale vision! Lynn took our breath away on her wedding day to Shane at Powerscourt Estate & Gardens in her ballgown wedding dress adorned with romantic floral lace by Zuhair Murad.

14. If you've fallen head over heels for Niamh's bridal look like we have, it's a beautiful Berta bridal creation which she sourced at Verona Bridal in Belfast for her Ballymagarvey Village wedding to Conor. We love how she completed her bridal look with a romantic full-length veil with her hair swept up so as to show off the gorgeous bodice detail.

15. Katya looked radiant on her wedding day to Eugen at Killruddery House in the Manoir wedding dress by luxury designer dress by Suzanne Neville. The design features an elegant high neck, an open illusion back and long sheer sleeves entirely adorned with delicate lace floral motifs.

16. Vahida's drop-dead gorgeous dress for her wedding to Ian at Luttrellstown Castle is the Tori gown by Catherine Deane which she sourced at Alice May Bridal.

An intricate and delicate lace showstopper, she completed her bridal look with a full-length soft tulle veil and white court heels by Tony Bianco.

17. Beautiful real bride Ali wore a classic lace wedding gown at her October wedding to Chris at Gloster House. The bodice was made up of intricate floral detail and skirt with a flirty dipped hem, allowing for her bridal shoes to have their moment in the spotlight! We wouldn't have hidden those beauties either.

18. Susannah's long-sleeve wedding dress by dress designer Anna Georgina stunned at her wedding to Chris at Borris House. The lace and edging on the bodice is particularly pretty.
